Now Director Rupert Sanders Is Apologizing for Cheating with Kristen Stewart

Oh, boy. The saga continues... After news broke that Kristen Stewart, 22, was caught in a cheating scandal with the 41-year-old married director of her film Snow White and the Huntsman, Rupert Sanders, she issued a surprisingly heartfelt apology to her longtime 26-year-old boyfriend, Robert Pattinson. And now Rupert has issued a statement, too.

"I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family," he told People. "My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."

Rupert's married to actress/model Liberty Ross, who in a weird turn of events, played a young Kristen's mother in the SWATH film.

Honestly, when I first heard reports of the affair, I was hoping they were just that--reports. For the sake of Liberty Ross and her two young kids with Rupert, it's heartbreaking to see this all played out in such a public medium.

Yes, Kristen is only 22 years old, and mistakes happen. She's not the first person to make a poor judgment, and she won't be the last. Her age isn't an excuse for her actions, but she didn't have a family with Robert. Rupert had a lot more to lose.
